I had the reminder of my teeth pulled 1/10 at the V.A.

3 up top and I think six on the bottom, all at once. Probably 10 sticks with the needle.

I salvaged my 45-year-old gold crowns (3).

I'm now waiting (toothless) to heal to have impressions made sometime in February, I think. They mentioned snap in dentures on the bottom and maybe on the top depending on the jawbone condition. Might have to have bone grafts.

Im trying to be realistic so I think all work will be completed and healed by Thanksgiving.

Anyone else?

Husband had some similar work, not quite as much, including bone grafts and individual implants and I don’t remember for sure but seems like it took 6 months. I understand the full bottom replacement can be done sooner, your dentist would know for sure 🙂
